It would seem there is a to_iso_extended_string but not a corresponding from_iso_extended_string? Our workaround will be to leave date/time out of the mix for the time being. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 11:42 AM, Michael Powell wrote:

Hello,

I have a cross platform date/time quirk I want to work out.

I am using Boost DateTime Posix to_iso_string and from_iso_string to pass date/time fields over the wire.

What I am finding is that C# .NET DateTime and/or Boost DateTime Posix ISO do not agree, at least where ISO format is concerned.

So... Is it a Boost issue? Or a .NET issue? I'm not positive, but the ISO format goes something like this:

"YYYY-mm-DDTHH:MM:SS"

Whereas Boost interpretation of that is something like:

"YYYYmmDDT..."

Something else after 'T', not sure, is that seconds since the epoch? Something like that.

Anyway. Parsing the tree is falling over on that interpretation.

A workaround is to leave the field out (for now), but longer term I would like to preserve the time field in whatever date/time format will work and parse ubiquitously over the wire.

Any recommendations? Thank you...
